Problem Downloading flim: Error -50

Hello,
I am attempting to download a film I purchased called '30 Minutes or Less'.
The file has currently downloaded up to 1.14GB of the 1.17GB file.
The download has stopped presenting a window showing:
There was a problem downloading "30 Minutes or Less / Ruben Fleisher". An unknown error occured (-50).
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
I can connect to the internet with no problems. The connection is just fine. It just stopped half way through downloading.
I couldn't find a discussion on this already, so thought I'd create one.
Thank You,
George.

    Downloading stopped in midstream with the above error message but internet connection is fine. Suggestions to resolve problem appreciated.

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • Problems downloading songs: error 3259

    I've been very patient with iTunes over the past month while it's been having difficulties downloading my songs. At the begining of the new year, my problems stopped and my songs finally downloaded. Now, I have tried downloading songs again and it's not doing anything. I can download apps and update them, but nothing else happens. I have the most recent version of iTunes and software for my iPod Touch 3rd gen. More important pieces of information: no other software was updated before this problem started and when I run a diagnostics test, it says the secure link to iTunes has failed, but it won't let me click the help button to let me fix it. Please help in anyway you can!

    Same problem. It all started on the week of New Years. I also received a new iPod Touch and downloading Apps is fine on it. I thought at first the speed was due to an un estimated amount of customer downloads, but... looks like I might be wrong. If anyone has an answer please tell me, I've never had this problem since I got my first generation Nano.

  • "There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    Hello everyone,
    When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
    "There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
    http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
    Important notes:
    1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
    2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
    3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
    4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
    5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
    6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
    Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

  • There was a problem downloading An unknown error occurred (-50).

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Itunes 11 it refused to play movies I had purchased through the Itunes store, even though I could see the files were there on my hard drive, and the movie covers were visible in Itunes. I discovered that the only way to get them playing was to redownload them from the Icloud. If this wasn't bad enough (I have over 200GB of movies) I am getting the following error on particular files.
    There were problems downloading some purchased items.
    For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.

    I hope somone can help me with both problems because whilst my ISP might like to see me download 200MB of data (I pay extra when I go over 20GB in a month), I would not. Also the error problem would be usefull to correct because I would hate to lose any of my Itunes purchases. I should probably mention that I am using Windows 8 64 bit.
    Thanks,
    Lachlan

    Hi Lachlan,
    That sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have documentation on this error message:
    iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
    This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
    - Firewalls
    - Web Accelerators
    - Ad Filters
    - Virus Protection Software
    Cheers!,

  • Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

    Hi,
        I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
    but all the time i am getting the following error.
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
    pls help me to downgrade my device.
    I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
    Regards
    Ram

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

  • Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"

    I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???
      Windows XP  

    Hi BigIRv,
    Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
    See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
    See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    what to do? please help....

    Stop with the silly and pointless fonts.
    A simple search of the forums for the actual error would have revealed the resolution.
    Temporarily disable all security software on the computer.
